Our client is a recognised marker leader who has recently developed a revolutionary material taking the technology, media and arts world by storm. Due to the huge demand and interest in this new product, my client has a large number of prospective clients enquiring about this new and exciting material, and so is now looking to recruit an articulate, organised, confident Graduate Sales Executive to join their team.
